Postsynaptic activation of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II promotes coordinated pre- and postsynaptic maturation of Drosophila neuromuscular junctions.

Neuroscience - 1 Jan 2003

Kazama H, Morimoto-Tanifuji T, Nose A

Abstract excerpt

The interaction between a neuron and its target cell(s) is essential for the development of synapses. To elucidate the role of target cells in synaptogenesis, the activity of postsynaptic calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) was manipulated in a mosaic manner and its specific effect was examined at the developing Drosophila neuromuscular junction. We found that postsynaptic expression of...
